" Rates are still rising however not as fast as what we saw in the past financial year," she stated.

Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has resembled a steam train-- you can't stop it," she said. "And Perth simply hasn't decreased."

Houses are likewise set to become more costly in the coming 12 months, with systems in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast to strike brand-new record prices.

Australia's housing market remains under considerable stress as families continue to face price and serviceability limits amidst the cost-of-living crisis, increased by continual high rates of interest.
